This is a collection of early and revised poems that I gathered together for my master’s thesis. Some of the pieces in this collection have been published in Caracoa, Philippines Free Press, Philippine Graphic, National Midweek Magazine, Solidarity, and Sands & Coral. One very short poem (”Burden”) is included in Gémino Abad’s A Habit of Shores and Getting Real: An Introduction to the Practice of Poetry.

Under the title, “Child’s Play and Other Poems,” this collection formed the other half of the creative writing thesis, The Writing Eye, I presented to the faculty of the Master of Arts in English (major in Creative Writing) Graduate Studies Program of the College of Arts and Sciences, Silliman University, in May 2001.
